Spotpaw

Travelling Rules:
- Feel free to have them as long as you want! I'll probably ask for them back if I need them for something, like if I want to breed them myself!
- If breeding, I'd prefer to have a choice of 1 pup (at least) if I don't see any I like you can keep them all! Also, I allow pairbonding for breeding!
- Don't change their name, however please make sure you fill out the bio below!
- You can give them whatever personality you want but if someone owned them previously make sure you stick with the personality they gave them!

If making changes to her appearance/adding accessories etc, please add what you changed below here!:

Spoiler Spotpaw was always the weakest in her pack. She struggled to do the simplest of tasks, even when she was being trained as an apprentice. No matter what she did - hunting, Pupsitting, helping out the herbalist… she couldn't do anything right. When she came to be an adult, Coralstar seemed Spotpaw a lost cause. She exiled Spotpaw, though Spotpaw begged Coralstar for another chance. She didn't want to leave her friends and family. After some time discussing with her deputy and herbalist, Coralstar finally came to a conclusion. If Spotpaw travelled the world and visited different packs, eventually coming back home alive, then Spotpaw can have another chance to stay in the pack. But she has to prove herself first.

Decor: Celtic Ruana Wrap [Green], Scar: Stop
Lore: SpoilerSpotpaw kept to herself a lot while traveling through the Coniferous Forest with the Kingdom of Light wolves. They seemed sad, almost like they were in mourning, and the pack certainly wasn't being chatty about why. One day, while socializing with one of the younger members of the pack, an adolescent at the time named Angelina, it was revealed to Spotpaw that the Kingdom of Light had just lost an important wolf to the stars. This wolf had been their King for many years, and his mate Queen Aloy took up the throne. Spotpaw took it upon herself to lend a listening ear to the Queen in hopes that some troubles and woes could be relieved. By the time Spotpaw left, the Queen of the Kingdom of Light was so grateful she gifted the she-wolf a green celtic ruana wrap.
Eventually, the she-wolf began hunting for the pack as a chaser with Keerie, who would fill the positions of stalker, and Marcus, who took up finisher, during the hunts they went on together in the mountains nearby.

Impressed by the finisher's hunting skills, Spotpaw took a bit of a liking to the handsome piasa male. Spotpaw and Marcus spent time socializing together alone outside of hunting parties after the first hunt they went on together. They seemed to enjoy each other's company.
Bubbling with energy, the group returns in good spirits. It was a success! (5)
Finisher Marcus and Spotpaw spent time trading stories about the adventures of the elders and the mischief of the pups.
Upon rollover on March 18th, 2024, Spotpaw was presenting the following symptoms: Lesions, Skin Inflammation.
Jaime, the pack's herbalist, took a look at her, and diagnosed Spotpaw with Pox, quickly providing her with a crafted remedy he had in storage. Marcus was there comforting Spotpaw along the way, immune to the virus after having caught it recently. Spotpaw was deeply appreciative to Jaime for his help and returned swiftly to hunting in the mountains with Keerie and Marcus.

Clearly, Marcus had finishing down, and he sauntered back to the hunting party with the woodpecker carcass and a grin, all eyes for Spotpaw. The two spent even more time socializing together after that, and continuously hunting in the same party. At one point, Keerie complained that she wanted some time to find a bigger trail, but the pair were too busy chatting to pay any attention, following each other instead of following Keerie. They went off down to a lake in the coniferous forest to look for mosses and branches to return to the pack with, and most of time, were chattering away even more than the songbirds.
The wolves have returned, excitedly chatting and being warm with one another. It looks like it went well! (5)

All was going well, until Hushedfoot, a confident pyrope male with blue eyes who was a member of the pack, and Monsta, a fair-minded oriode female traveling wolf, joined the hunting party, claiming that Spotpaw would do better with two other chasers helping her out. Spotpaw was unsure, but kept quiet about it, not wanting to cause any trouble within her host pack.

One day, Queen Aloy and Monsta approached Spotpaw, Marcus, Hushedfoot, and Keerie before the five hunters were meant to go hunting out in the prairie together. Monsta stood beside Queen Aloy while the Queen invited the hunting party to socialize together just outside of camp, within the coniferous forest territory, while she observed from a distance during her usual daily patrol through the biome. The hunting party reluctantly agreed, except for Monsta, who was quick to state they would happily be attending the socialization period. Spotpaw didn't speak up about it, but worried that things would not go as well as the Queen was hoping.
Raised voices and bristled fur greet you when the wolves come back. They seem angry...guess this group is a bust! (-2)
Spotpaw and Finisher Marcus decided to enjoy time swimming together.
☄️ Monsta and Hushedfoot return deep in conversation about their preferred pupsitting techniques. +1 pupsitting gained for ☄️ Monsta.

During the trip, it was revealed that Monsta had asked Queen Aloy to initiate the socialization in attempts to make their hunting trips run smoother. Spotpaw didn't know how to feel about this personally, as she knew that the fellow traveling wolf was simply trying to be fair at heart. Only one wolf chasing during a hunt can make the whole trip difficult, but perhaps this team was better off as a trio; Marcus had been the first to speak that, and Hushedfoot was not of a similar mind to Marcus judging off their harsh reaction. Monsta and Hushedfoot distanced themselves from Marcus, Keerie, and Spotpaw for the remainder of the trip, jaws snapping from Keerie and Hushedfoot along the way back to camp whenever the two would get too close to one another. Alas, the group still had one more hunting trip to go on for the day.
Your hunting party returned from their hunt. Finisher Marcus captured a(n) Milk Snake!
Spotpaw (lv 4) gained 43 EXP and +1 chasing proficiency point (new total: 9).

Thankfully, the party was able to bring something back to camp. The group parted ways that evening with a monotone farewell before Monsta and Hushedfoot went off somewhere to speak alone, while Spotpaw joined Marcus and Keerie in the camp's common area to chatter about the day. Spotpaw and Marcus bid Keerie an embarrassed farewell after they eventually seemed to starrt only having eyes for one another, and ears that could barely hear Keerie's amused laughter. The pair spoke late into the night until the moon was lowering in the sky, beginning to fade into the distance. Marcus and Spotpaw parted ways that night with a touch of their noses and wagging tails and Marcus went off to his own den after seeing Spotpaw safely to her own.
The next morning, the pair spoke to Queen Aloy about the possibility of the two pair bonding. After much discussion and ensuring it was what the two wanted, Spotpaw and Marcus celebrated their bonding day with the pack, enjoying howling, dancing, and a bountiful feast of fresh bovine carcasses.
In the spring, Spotpaw and Marcus visited Queen Aloy with wonderful news: they were expecting puppies! The scrying stone had revealed that Spotpaw was pregnant with 3 puppies. The pair anxiously awaited their litter, preparing a nest over the next two months. Marcus was reluctant to allow Spotpaw to continue hunting with him and Keerie, worried that it would be risky considering she was pregnant. Spotpaw insisted it would be fine, with Keerie and Queen Aloy aiding in reassuring the nervous father-to-be. During the last half month, the pair decided it was time for Spotpaw to take a break from hunting, settling down for a while in a nice nest in a warm, sheltered den. Marcus brought along critter carcasses and chunks of meat from bigger kills while she spent her last days of pregnancy here.
Spotpaw gave birth to three beautiful sons: Tiger's Eye, Baryte, and Citrine. She and Marcus spent the first two and a half months of their life caring for them with love and affection only a pair of new parents could show their first litter. The two wolves were reluctant to part ways, drawing out the length of Spotpaw's stay as she wanted to see her sons grow into brave, independent wolves.
Once they were adolescents and began training to fulfill their future duties as members of the Kingdom of Light, Spotpaw and Marcus began steadily distancing themselves from each other on mutual terms. Their separation was inevitable as Spotpaw was a traveling wolf, and no pack truly could keep her for too long. The quiet dame parted ways with her puppies and beloved Marcus on the day they turned 7 months old, promising to one day return when her pups had grown into strong adults.
